OK Absters! Up and at 'em! Holiday is over!

When Det was a wee little clove :H..... I guess that was about 28 years ago, right? I'm :H over the Easter egg fights. I will admit to reading that and thinking WOW what a really fun idea! I hope Dx is feeling better today.

Uni - never quit trying. One of the hardest things for me was COMPLETE 100% acceptance of the fact that I can never drink safely. There was a little part of my mind that HOPED I could somehow get control, and this is the little part that would listen to the "just one" BS. Hang tough!

Kate, your dinner sounds fab. I wanna come live at your house. Let me know when my room is ready.

Bear, welcome back and Happy Birthday! :birthday4:

Lav good you had a super day despite the grump!

We had a relaxing day here. Originally Mr. D was supposed to be trialing his older dog. (not the baby in the avatar) They had a mishap at training a couple of weeks ago (not an injury - just one of those "two steps back" things) so he decided to pull out of the trial. He didn't want to go spectate something he had really wanted to be participating in. So we didn't make any family plans, so ended up here at home! It was a nice relaxing day. I finally finished putting away all the winter clothes and getting out all the spring / summer stuff. I need to get my abbercizer in gear as I have gained some weight over the winter and my skinny summer stuff it too tight now! So look for a new Abbercizer thread! My next project is to inventory all the stuff that I don't wear anymore and is going to the Mission center.

I am so grateful to be experiencing the contented sobriety that I lacked a year ago. It is so nice not to feel "wound up tight" so much of the time. I feel really relaxed and happy and it's such a nice way to start the day! If anyone hasn't quite gotten to that place yet, keep workin' on your program until you get there. Taking the AL out of the equation is just the first step.

Happy Sober Monday one and all!

Hi all,

sad day here, my natural grandma died today.

I'm so very grateful I met my grandma!
I'm so very sad of wasted time, robbing potential memories.

Good morning Ab Fabbers,

Thanks for waking me DG! I am up & ready to get the day started
I am comfortable with my AFness at this point DG. I feel as if a gigantic weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now if I could really lose some weight............

Leelou, I am very sorry to hear about your Grandma. Hope you can keep your memory of her close in your heart.

We've been promised lots of sunshine today so I will find something to do outdoors - for sure

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Monday!

Morning abbies!

It's time to break out "the robe"!! The winter one is becoming too hot. It is to be almost 90 the next few days! Eeeek! I'm not through with spring yet!

I'm sorry about your grandma, leelou. I have my grandma's bracelet that I wear sometimes. I used to love sit by her and play with it. I can still remember the smell of her kitchen. Those memories are so nice.

Kate, wow what a meal! I went to friends house and had a great meal. Even got a to-go plate! They put away some wine and beer but didn't seem to show it. I was asked if I was still not drinking and I felt a little twinge of a "social drinking" nature. But I know exactly where having a single glass would end up in a matter of time. The wife and I were big drinking buddies but there is more to our friendship than those times so it's fine. She doesn't need to know the gorey details. Really only you guys know those DG, you are so right. 100% acceptance makes the difference.

I have a court hearing today over a little lawsuit. I am the petitioner. I'm in such a good place that I don't hold anger and trust that things will work out as they should. (that would be with me winning :H)

Still haven't cut that damn grass (weeds) that continue to grow inches every day. Grrr.

Have a marvelous monday!

I think we are hoping for a bit more clarification from Raven. Raven??? Some of us may wish to live vicariously through you. Especially if Johnny Depp will be there.

Hi Gang!

Leelou, so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find comfort in the time that you were able to spend with her.

Lav, it is about time that you get some beautiful weather!

Greenie, yes...ditch the winter robe for a sexy summer one!!

DG....I will iron the sheets for your bed, tomorrow!!! (yeah...right!!

Sexy swingers weekend?? Is this a flashback to the 70's! LOL LOL to DG and her Johnny Depp fantasies! Wouldn't we love to see her face to face with him!!

I am excited....I have signed up for a writing class!! It is a graduated course that I am taking for no credit hours (cheaper and easier that way). I am hoping that the course and being around other serious writers for 6 weeks, will get my writing juices flowing!!

OK....xxx To All!

Hi guys,

Back to day 3 here. Feeling good about it. It was a nice weekend with my little one and no AL. Glad to be back up on the wagon.

Had a busy but successful day. I do have a bit of a headache so I'm off to make dinner, do a load of laundry and go to bed early with a book.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Love and hugs,

Uni

Lee lou - so sorry to hear about your grandma hon.

Kate, will you iron my big girl panties too? (LOL your mention of ironing sheets made me think of my own grandma, who not only ironed sheets but also my grandpa's boxer shorts. But I digress....)

Thank goodness for the part of women's lib that gave us freedom from ironing things that nobody ever sees anyway. Or is never SUPPOSED to see anyway. :H

Kate, congrats on your writing class! That sounds exciting. And definitely not that sort of thing I could imagine tackling with a hangover.

Lav, did you have a good day out doors? I am kicking myself that I didn't get my garden clean up done before the rain. I should have some stuff planted by now. Oh well. I'm not going to stress over it. That's why God made Farmers Markets.

Yep,

I did get outside and (started) trimming shrubs, etc. I see now that I'm going to need several yards of mulch - gotta get in the mood for that dirty work though. I'm praying over the broccoli plants, the bunny rabbits around here thrive on them. Btw - the bunnies live under the chicken coop - we're one big happy family around these parts Our Amish farmer neighbor always provides us with whatever we need!

I am a little curious about Raven's weekend activities as well. OK Raven, we need to know.............
I get the feeling it may be too kinky for grandmas, ha ha!

Be well everyone,
Lav

Uni - sorry I missed your post earlier! :yougo: on Day 3. That is awesome. One day at a time.

Lav, I don't even want to THINK about the bunnies. I saw some running around the yard over the weekend. What's the matter with my useless dogs? With 5 dogs, how is it there are bunnies here? I may not plant any green beans just to avoid the :upset: of it all! :H

If I don't get things cleaned up out there and get Mr. D to till, there won't be anything at all for the bunnies OR the humans to eat!

Psst. Lav. Grannys can swing with the best of 'em!!!!

just a bit of fun between like minded consenting adults. I think we still have a great sex life after all this time and going out playing together keeps us young. Its only ever same room swap, I never cheat on her and always protecetd. Its a part of life that really used to fuel my drinking and major binges, so good to do sober and enjoy more.
